The marginal effect for characteristic i is δi = Λ(β'x)(1-Λ(β'x))βi where Λ is the logistic cumulative distribution function and βi, is the estimated coefficient for characteristic i.
AII measures are based in the 6-month period prior to the interview. Service use is self-reported. Medicare reimbursements are from Medicare claims files.
